Cafés: interior design, construction and cost estimates

Hello! I'm Ham Young-ju, a designer at Goodterior :)

This Songdo 10-pyeong cafe interior aims to make a small cafe feel comfortable and open.

Beige and timber combine with fluted panels and terrazzo flooring for an orderly atmosphere. Ceiling indirect lighting and recessed lights provide even brightness without glare.

The owner wanted sufficient seating, wide routes, and comfort for solo visitors. A wall-side long bench and lightweight rattan tables keep the center open, with a window-side bar table for individual seating.

An L-shaped counter groups ordering and pickup for convenient operations and less crowded waiting. Let's explore the details.

Site check

  • Area: 33.06m² (10 pyeong)
  • Existing interior: Verify demolition scope and reusable items on site; protect furniture and equipment during relocation
  • Electrical: Separate dedicated heating-appliance circuits, review distribution board capacity, and provide waterproof bar/kitchen outlets and earth-leakage protection
  • Water and drainage: Provide cold/hot water and drainage to the bar sink, connect the coffee-machine drain, install floor traps, and adjust floor falls
  • Ventilation and exhaust: Verify capacities and duct routes on site, review exterior-wall openings or existing duct reuse, and reduce noise and vibration
  • Fire protection: Review and relocate sprinklers, detectors, and emergency lighting if needed, reflecting coordination with the local fire authority
  • Heating and cooling: Review existing equipment reuse and capacity, replacing pipework and drainage when relocating units
  • Ceiling and lighting: Separate lighting circuits, scan slab reinforcement before openings for track lights or downlights, and organize concealed or exposed conduits

Floor plan

In this small 33.06㎡ cafe, seats follow walls and corners, leaving a generous central aisle to reduce enclosure.Grouped right-side counters connect ordering, preparation, and returns, with rear sink and storage simplifying water use and tidying.

Main seating

  • Mainly 2-person tables line both sides, leaving an approximately 1m central aisle so ordering queues and service do not overlap.
  • A continuous custom bench along the long wall adds seats and lower storage, with upper indirect lighting and recessed lights for a cozy atmosphere.

Window-side bar seating

  • A bar top approximately 350mm deep beside the far-right window accommodates solo visitors.
  • Concealed lower outlets keep cables out of sight, with small objects naturally expressing the brand image.

Order and pickup counter

  • An L-shaped counter visible from the entrance separates ordering and pickup. A clear waiting area at the end reduces congestion.
  • Bright front finishes and upper indirect lighting make the menu legible while staff circulation connects naturally to the hall.

Preparation and washing

  • A U-shaped worktop behind the counter shortens movement between extraction, toppings, and finishing.
  • Drying shelves and storage beside the sink allow quick organization of cups and supplies to keep the hall tidy.

Let's look at the design concept.

Design

Seating density and wide circulation suit the 10-pyeong layout. Beige tones and timber slats provide balance, with indirect cove lighting and pendants ensuring even daytime brightness. Rattan tables and straight bench seats suit relaxed short visits.
